BERKELEY  PACK 30

We are an inclusive, parent-volunteer-run cub scout program, serving our youth and upholding our community values since the 1950s.

Scouting gives our youth a safe venue to try new things and build self-confidence. 

Scouting encourages our youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for serving others in their community

Pack 30 Facts

Open To All Children

Pack 30 welcomes children of all genders who are in kindergarten through 5th grade (generally ages 5 to 10). Scouts meet in Dens according to their age and rank being worked on (Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, and Arrow-of-Light, respectively). Youth entering kindergarten through 5th grade this fall are welcome to attend our meetings to meet the Pack before joining.

Lions Club Charter

Every Pack has a chartered organization that sponsors and supports the pack. Pack 30, part of the Herms District in the Golden Gate Area Council, is chartered by Berkeley Lions Club. 

 Meetings

When: 

Mondays 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Pack meetings are generally held on the 4th Monday of each month, for all scouts in the Pack (except on Federal holidays).

Den meetings are typically held during the first week of the month, for Scouts of the same age group and there is flexibility in this date to accommodate the availability of the families in that Den.

There will also be weekend activities (e.g. hikes, campouts, service projects, the Pinewood Derby, potlucks), usually on a monthly basis.

Where:

We meet at Live Oak Park while there is daylight and the weather is nice.

Den meetings have been at people's backyards or at a nearby public park depending on the Den families' convenience.

During winter when it gets dark, we'll start meeting at Saint Mary Magdalen Church, which has graciously given us space for our pack/den meetings.

Note: Pack and Den leaders will make sure to give ample heads-up on the exact location prior to the pack/den meetings.
